Good Morning. I have a 1989 Ford Probe. If the car idols for more than 10 minutes it stalls out. I know it is going to stall out because I hear a whistle just before it stalls. It starts very hard after this also and sometimes I must let it sit a minute or 2 before trying a restart. Also if I try to start the car after it has been used in the morning I have to let it turn over a couple of times, turn it off and then turn it back on and it starts. Does anyone have any ideas on what is wrong? Thanks all.
Bob

Have you tryed to clean the throttle plate, there bad about getting gummed upped, get a old tooth brush an a can of carb cleaner, if you can try to get the kind thats kinda foamy , it dont run off near as bad , let it soak a few minutes , spray it again an give it a good brushing, hold the throttle open an clean the back side as well an all around inside the airhorn, an shoot some in the IAC valve also
